📸 OM v Rennes: controversial refereeing decision sparks debate | OneFootball

This is going to get people talking!

This Tuesday evening, OM were looking to bounce back against Rennes in the Coupe de France Round of 16.

While the match got off to a perfect start for the Olympians with Amine Gouiri opening the scoring in just the second minute, the game took a real turn in the 22nd minute.

Beaten for pace by Glenn Kamara, Ethan Nwaneri tried to win the ball back with a sliding tackle, but his foot ended up landing on the Rennes player's ankle.

An intervention that only earned a yellow card from Mr. Leonard, the referee of the match. As a reminder, VAR is not yet available at this stage of the competition.

A double blow for Rennes, who had to watch their midfielder leave the pitch injured just ten minutes after the young Englishman's foul. It's also worth noting that Kamara's ankle had doubled in size by the time he left the field.

Even worse, the Finn was seen on crutches in the second half.

In your opinion, should Nwaneri have been given a red card?
